Hey! This is something that gets my husband and me every football Monday. Here in the states we have Monday night football. The entire month of October the teams have been wearing pink shoes, pink in their hats, etc for the breast cancer thing.

Add this to the fact that now many football commentators are now women and it's almost like you're not watching a brutal, manly sport. The running backs should carry purses or something.

I hardly ever give financial donations to charity- not because I don't care, but because I don't know where my money is actually going. If I want to make a change, I'd rather get off my ass and help (like build houses or do work in a food/soup kitchen) and see it grow into something!

Well, I think it's great they're raising cancer awareness. I'll assume then that the month of November will be devoted to promoting awareness of Prostate cancer and everyone will be sporting blue ribbons? (Yeah right ).

Awareness?

The only person in the world who is unaware of breast cancer is a four year old Hottentot in the Kalahari desert.

I get very annoyed at demands to 'raise awarewness' of something that is rammed down our throats morning, noon and night.

It is the same with domestic violence that is 'secret' and 'no-one talks about'.

Gordon friggin' Bennett.

Dress down days is just school-yard playground stuff. How do you 'dress down' from normal working clothes for crying out loud.

More money has been raised for breast cancer than was needed to put a man on the Moon. The Atomic Bomb and Manhatten project cost a tenth of 'Breast Cancer Awareness'. The Three Gorges Dam cost less. Every year Governments divert millions of taxpayer dollars in every western country to 'fight' breast cancer. Marches are held and 'fun runs' and 'friday, dress down and show us yer tits 'days. Collections are taken which net untold millions. BILLIONS. Every year for the past thirty friggin' years.

There are thousands of people in laboratories and offices - OK, offices - who are making a fine and unending income from 'Breast Cancer Awareness' and any attempt to actually find a cure would upset a whole lot of gravy-trains for a whole lot of rent-seeking scum.

And just who IS fighting breast cancer?

Just who are the incompetent clods who have been 'fighting' for the past thirty years with bugger-all to show for their efforts. They don't seem to be able to fight a candy floss.

Mr Percy,

I think you should stop holding back and tell us how you REALLY feel about this issue.

Quote from chris1970

at our work we get to dress down on the last friday of the month and it is usually a day for donating to a selected charity. This coming Friday the chosen charity is breast cancer, if anyone has seen my posts it is a cause very close to my heart ;o)

Anyway, normally it is just a case of throwing a few coins into a charity bucket that is placed at the entry to the building. But oh no, because it is breast cancer some woman in the office is going to ply us with buying pink ribbon badges and enter quizzes and has actually specified we donate £2 for the privilege of dressing down, oh and we have to wear something pink as well. Our office is approx 3/4 male so it'll be interesting to see how many "manginas" there are getting into the spirit....

it's as though, yet again, this charity is head and shoulders above any other good causes and we are expected to donate more. FUCK RIGHT OFF!!!!!!

That sucks, hard!!!
I've never worn pink and won't in the near future!
As for the breast cancer thing, they're not going to find a cure and fat kats need to scare shit into gullible females while stuffing their bank accounts!

I am sure your boobs are precious to you, Super Housewife Megan, and damned fine ones too. I quite like breasts, myself.

But women take advantage of themselves going along with all this well-paying-for-some hysteria.

Can you imagine a world where penises were given so much money-grubbing exposure and adoration.

hahahaha...... Mr Percy, I was being sarcastic! I agree with you on every level. I have the breast cancer thing shoved in my face over and over and over...... one thing I do find curious though: The feminist women who are on the breast cancer bandwagon rarely ever mention the benefits of breast feeding in relation to cancer. (breast feeding weakens your cancer odds dramatically). Is this because you'd have to stay at home with your child in order to breast feed it? (in America mothers are allowed 6 weeks to stay home with a newborn from work.) Women would have to drop out of the workforce for some time to benefit from it. Or *gasp* , actually raise their kid themselves.

Just a thought. I could be mistaken.

Yep, I got the sarcastic humour, Megean. (there must be a word for that somewhere. Probably in German)

You got my acceptance grin? (-- )

How about all of the obelisks around the world, e.g. as gravestones and monuments, etc. The Washington Monument (obelisk) is just a big penis statue!

Now, I would support "Show us yer tits" awareness days!!!

I find all of these forced "donations" to be reprehensible. As the bartender in Cocktail said, "I am my own favorite charity." The more I give to anonymous recipients, the less I have for me. It's bad enough that I am taxed to death to provide for national and international socialism, but then I have to be assaulted at work, over the phone and in public to donate to the "less fortunate" or "worthy causes". "Frankly, I don't give a damn" about them. I'm my only responsibility, my own and nobody else's, thank you very much.

I have never 'got' that analogy.

It is a complete furphy by feminists.

None of these objects or buildings bear any resemblence to a penis.

Now, if there was a structure that stuck out half-way up a building I might see the analogy, especially is it had a knob on the end and milk shooting out periodically followed by the structure wilting !

But a gravestone

couldn't the guys wear pink discreetly like his wife's or g/f knickers like Superman - then nobody would notice

Why not celebrate equality? Set up a Prostate Cancer Awareness donation bucket, hand out literature and insist everyone wear blue too. Compare the amount of funds received for both causes by the end of the day, and then declare just how misogynistic or misandristic the office is. Don't attack Boob Cancer Awareness. That will just make you an easy target for accusations of misogyny. Offer the same donation and awareness opportunities for prostate cancer and expose people's misandry.
